Indian Tribal and Educational Personnel Program (non-major)
The Indian Tribal and Educational Personnel Program (ITEPP), the Native American Center for Academic Excellence established in 1969, offers academic and culturally relevant support for American Indian students attending Cal Poly Humboldt. Taking into consideration political status, tribal affiliation, family and tribal traditions, staff provide a comprehensive approach to educational planning. Staff assist students with reaching their goals by drawing on their cultural identity, building strong support networks (both on and off campus), academic advising, connecting with tribal representatives, engaging with faculty, setting educational and career goals, and applying for scholarship, internships and graduate school.
Cultural Resource Center (CRC)
The CRC, formally established in 1994, is a public-lending library devoted to expanding the awareness of relevant issues facing Indian Country, Tribal communities, and American Indian peoples. The CRC hosts a collection of over 6,500 print, film, and audio resources focused on the breadth of Native social, political, cultural, and geographic experiences and truths. Its catalogue is searchable online through Library World. Cal Poly Humboldt students and faculty utilize the CRC to enhance their research, course delivery and publications. The nature of the CRC reflects the pedagogy, philosophies and formal constructs of Native knowledge and contributes to a positive academic experience for Native students.
